Chemotherapy Today

So today I finally received the first chemotherapy treatment. It is very intimidating when they bring out all these black bags with POISON warnings! The bags also say "Keep out of reach of children...."

The treatment takes about 2 hours, is done via IV through the line put into my right arm for the next 6 months. The chemo will be every 2 weeks for the next 6 months. I didn't start to feel bad until about 2 hrs after the treatment, when I felt like I had a really bad flu. There was not too much nausea because they gave me a lot of painkillers and anti-nausea meds through the IV. I did manage to sleep through most of the night.
